Even after maxing out her stats, Rita still wasn't satisfied. She made a trip to Lania Kaia and spent nearly five hundred gold coins on a beginner-level pet contract scroll. Then, she scoured the auction house for hours before finally finding a piece of equipment requiring dual attributes, around level 25.
It was a shoulder guard, priced at 1170 gold. She gritted her teeth and bought it. Equipment with dual attribute requirements was naturally much more expensive than gear with just level requirements. Plus, this one was rare quality, so although the price was steep, it wasn't unreasonable.
This was why Rita wasn't particularly enthusiastic about buying herself equipment. She had no shortage of low-level gear from running dungeons. But if she wanted to equip items worthy of her current stats, it meant purchasing dual-attribute gear, and that was a huge expense.
